I have a problem I reverted back to the original eclair android 2.1 firmware because my wifi wouldn't work. Heres the thing I go to samsungs website but it says to upgrade you need kies mini to do it. I have windows 7 and can never get to recognize my phone I tried installing drivers it just never worked. I do have a desktop that still has good old windows xp so when I wanna add anything to my phone I do it through that means. My main question is first whats the best firmware version that can be run on samsung captivate. I understand you need to install them in order eclair>froyo>gingerbread. My other question is if I install kies mini on my windows xp machine which doesn't currently have internet to it can I do the upgrade that way without any problems? I was also wondering whats a good stable rom to use?I tried to do att update but i forgot to unfreeze the att apps with titanium backup now I have to wait 24 hours lol but I need an app from the playstore my friend released I'm stuck with market and can get half the apps I had Thanks for any help I really appreciate it. oh and yes my phone is rooted.
I went from Froyo to Jelly Bean on my captivate. Check out Helly Bean or Slim Bean ROMs, both have working version for captivate. I would recommend Slim Bean as its considerably smoother given the limited (outdated) specs of cappy.

I just found this site which has a kies version specifically to my phone.
samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SEG-I897ZKAATT
I also figured out why my samsung would never be recognized for my pc running windows 7. It has something to do with my usb port because when I connect through a usb hub it works fine.
OMG it works Kies Mini works. I also had to unroot my phone first and then remove external sd card.
Im fully updated to Gingerbread now 2.3
Here is my specs I used odin and installed Kernal KK4

I was I got stuck on the step where it says to flash to speed mod kernel.
When I do that my phone gets stuck at a loading screen saying
"Samsung i897" in white letters with samsung logo at bottom of screen with black background. When I changed my kernel back to KK4 it worked fine again and loaded back.
The speedmod kernel is just so u can have cwm recovery to flash ur Rom of choice. It is not meant to boot ur phone.

So if I install a jelly bean slim I lose gingerbread? Which would make some of my apps incompatible from play store? I was also wondering whats with bootloaders and how can I ensure I have it. Judging form my specs is there anything else I need to do before loading a rom or literally just put the rom in a zip folder on one of my sd cards internal or external boot into recovery mode and choose the rom of my choice and from there it will load that rom and thats it?
If u were running kk4 with no probs, then u have the i897 gb bootloaders. And yep, if u flash a jellybean rom u will loose gb. And in order to go back to gb base u will have to use Odin or Heimdall.
As far as flashin a Dev Rom goes...if u have cwm recovery then u r good to go.

I have had good success with AOKP open Kang you can flash from recovery. They have page on rootwiki that walks through the process. Current version is build 5 once that's installed I change kernels to semaphore 2.4.5c semaphore provides over clocking I'm set at 110% and the phone screams. Also semaphore has a Google play app to manage the kernel. Both developer groups are top notch with solid links for download and change log.

Slim Beans 2.8 is also based on semaphore kernel and yes it runs quite smoothly on old cappy as mentioned above.
Slim bean is pretty nice

i put cm10 and have aosp keyboard error, and other apps keep crashing like dominos, should i wait 4 days for new cm10 or reflash my phone again,.. thx
i apologize, but from all that information about flashin xperia, and i'm total noob, i forgot that i'm using original kernel, will flash again in proper way, it should work,..
This is a boot image with CWM for stock JB. The included kernel versions are stock Sony (versions 11.3.A.0.47 and 11.3.A.2.1). You may need an unlocked boot loader for this.
This can also be used to root stock JB ROM by installing Superuser through recovery.
Downloads:
Xperia E single
Xperia E dual
Note: Don't directly link to these releases. Link to this thread with current releases instead.
Usage instructions:
Boot to fastboot and flash boot image:
Code:
fastboot flash boot <filename>.elf
Recovery boot is triggered by pressing any of the volume keys during bootup while the notification bar lights up.
How to run fastboot is explained in Sony's instructions. If you still need help with that, please Google it yourself because there are plenty of guides.
Standard disclaimer that I'm not responsible for any messups applies.
Thanks go out to FXP for the initial Nanhu device port.
Release history:
2013-05-26:

This thread is about CWM, not how to get JB. I've explained how to get it from SUS on another thread.

First post updated with new release.
Single-SIM E users, please flash the new single-SIM specific version. The stock kernel on the devices are slightly different, most importantly the battery percentage specification, so the reported battery level will be off when running the other device's kernel.
I am rooted with bootloader locked.
Please tell if I need to get mine bootloader UNlocked for this to work???
And people who have flashed pls give quick steps for how to.....
I am new to Sony device

The method of flashing a custom boot image won't work with a locked boot loader.
There may be other methods like this where recovery is placed on the system partition instead of the boot partition, but I haven't looked into that.
trying to combine with FXP CM10 > stuck on SONY logo...
with MIUI V5 > Bricked... have to use flashtool for recover...
btw, this is great work for stock ROM lovers
not meant for comparative, but your CWM look so better than FXP's one, also can reboot the system properly... ( CM10 still can not reboot phone, even on recovery mode)
It can't boot CM because it includes stock ROM's ramdisk, i.e. the boot instructions. CM will require its own specific ramdisk.
successfully entered in cwm in xperia e dual??? is ther any rom for e dual??? can i flash cm10.1 for xperia e in my e dual???plz any 1????

Well that problem description is a bit too generic. Note that this is for stock JB ROM, not CM10 or ICS. I have tested it with version 11.3.A.2.1 on E dual.
I haven't done another stock-compatible recovery, but I'm hoping to post the first release of my CM10 port next week, and it will include TWRP.
I´ve tested on stock JB 11.3.A.2.1 on C1604 device.
Please, port also recovery for stock only. I don´t want to use any other ROM at the moment.
Or tell how to do.
:good:

I'll look into getting TWRP to work with stock when I've got some time, but right now I don't have anything except CWM.

My device is Stock DDLF2 so I wanted to flash it with other custom roms hence I flashed it with CF ROOT(DDLF2_CFROOT-05-07-2012.tar) and I flashed the CM9 Alpha14 rom it was working good, then I thought I should flash CM10 based roms so I tried to flash Slim Bean and as per the installation instruction I had to flash first CM10 Alpha4(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868074) so I downloaded the rom and tried to flash while flashing when it just starts to load package it just reboots into recovery where I cannot do anything, though I remove battery and try to switch it ON after some time same thing, thankfully my download mode works, so what I do is I flash the stock rom again on top of KPE following the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
no matter how much I try I am just able to get back my DDLF2 stock but could not get past the abrupt reboot into recovery thing. I tried directly installing
Slim Bean
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024076
as well as
ENHDRIOX 13.2.9
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043870
but same thing, so i tried installing CM9 A14(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449649) back where I can flash it without any problem and starts just fine, but when I try to reboot into recovery same recovery bootloop. I tried all of those back and forth I don't know how many times but same results. I'm afraid I might brick my phone by doing it so many times. I even tried installing the crackerizer-kernel-final.zip thinking that the kernel that currently i'm might have not supported the kernels in the custom roms that I've been trying to flash but not luck so far.
Please Help, desperately in need of some expert advise.
